EMPTY - [Wanda Maximoff]

summary

The Universal Stone is a relic that has endured for millions of years, and some argue it even predates the creation of Earth itself. This enigmatic gem harbored colossal power: it controlled time and commanded the elements. Those fortunate enough to behold it claimed that its mere touch burned like the fieriest flames and that its deceptive orange hue hypnotized those who gazed upon it. Unfortunately, its existence became little more than a legend, known only to a select few, among them, the FBI. This secretive agency had tirelessly sought the stone, yearning to seize its incredible power, which would grant them absolute dominion over all things.

It was on the brink of despair, on the verge of abandoning the mission, that they stumbled upon the coveted gem hidden among the rubble of a dormant volcano.

Once in the hands of the FBI agents, humanity seemed to fade from their hearts. The stone was undeniably powerful, and, as the legend dictated, it caused unbearable agony to those who dared to touch it. The agents began to devise plans to fashion it into a formidable weapon that would enable them to achieve their ambitions of absolute control. However, they were not willing to risk their own lives in the process.

It was then that their dark and secretive plan was set in motion, beginning with the capture of two young blond-haired siblings who had ended up in an orphanage after their father had killed their mother. These children became the first test subjects to experiment with the Universal Stone. However, no one could anticipate the catastrophic consequences that would unfold from this sinister experiment.

The younger one could not endure the following two years of torture and injections and finally succumbed to death; his frail body relentlessly rejected the contents of the stone. His agony was unbearable. However, his older sister managed to survive, demonstrating astonishing resilience amid the inhuman trials they were subjected to.

With an increasingly intense sense of urgency, the agents were forced to radically alter the process. They decided, with grim desperation, to meld the stone directly into the girl's body in a desperate attempt to finally forge the weapon they so coveted. The scene was gruesome, as if science had plunged into the darkest of nightmares to achieve its goal.

Not even the suffering and screams of agony from the little girl could halt the agents' relentless plan.

Finally, the awaited moment arrived. The girl, with superhuman tenacity, merged with the lifeless stone, fulfilling the agents' objective. However, the anguish she felt at the thought of her brother unleashed an uncontrollable torrent of power that shattered the containment barriers that held her captive. Despite the FBI's desperate efforts to stop her, they could not anticipate the catastrophic explosion that turned the place into a hellish inferno. Thousands of agents were mutilated in the air as the young girl found her brother's lifeless body.

The little girl managed to escape the scene and became an enigma impossible to trace. The FBI, determined to keep their actions secret, concealed all clues that could reveal the truth. They maintained their deception for a decade, until the S.W.O.R.D organization finally located the young woman and determined that the Scarlet Witch was the only one capable of controlling that monster.
